SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Burning $55k/mo Building Freemium Tool for Developers, 15k users, $1.2m Raised

So we have large companies and small teams.

So the size of the team depends between roughly 10 to 50 users.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So it's about 500 at most per month or 100 or 200 a month per team.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Burning $55k/mo Building Freemium Tool for Developers, 15k users, $1.2m Raised

Yeah, that's correct.

I see.

And so we started with this product, and at some point we realized that we were only analyzing the code when people push the code.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So you write the code, and when you're done, you push it.

And then we realized pretty quickly that, in fact, what we need to do is help the developer write better code upfront.

So think like you are writing the code, like you write a Google Doc, you have real-time suggestions about what you should write, how to improve your style.

And so we started to have another product called the Coding Assistant that suggests blocks of code for the developer.

So as you write code, we suggest what you should write.

Yes, that's correct.

And right now on the platform, as we have 14,000 users, what we really did is grow the platform as much as we can, use this user to put code snippets.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And so we have an engine after that that matches what you ask.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Like, for example, read a file, get data from Twitter, and then we suggest a book of code.

That product has been in development right now for six months, and we're going to announce a public launch within the next one or two months.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Burning $55k/mo Building Freemium Tool for Developers, 15k users, $1.2m Raised

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So that's an interesting story.

I went through Techstars Boulder.

So I did that last year.
